Before the Lord Jesus returned to heaven, He told His disciples to preach the Gospel to the whole world. (Matt. 28: 19; Mark 16: 15; Luke 24: 47). Two thousand years later we find ourselves preaching this very same message to the heart of Georgia.
St. Innocent Orthodox Church is a community of believers from all walks of life seeking salvation through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Like our patron saint, St. Innocent of Alaska, our parish seeks to bring the ancient Christian faith---what believers called “the Way”--- to the greater Macon area in its own language and culture.
In the Orthodox Church we often hear the beckoning words of Philip as he talked to Nathaniel (John 1:46): “come and see.” Many have called Orthodoxy a ‘sensory’ experience, worship in which all our senses take part. We invite you to “come and see”; come and experience. Come and hear the Scriptures sung by our own a cappella choir. Smell the fragrant incense as it lifts our prayers to God. See the Gospel come alive in our iconography. Experience the beauty of ancient Orthodox architecture. And most importantly, make a life-changing connection with Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
"The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago."
"COME AND SEE."
